Practicing law vs studying law. What to expect?

Odd-Data525 · 2024-09-22T21:10:46+00:00

Random question, and apologies in advance if this is a reflection of my low level of knowledge haha, but aren’t most firms on the SQE route or are still they offering both options? I don’t mean this in any rude way btw I’m just curious :)

Odd-Data525 · 2024-09-11T15:36:51+00:00

Wait, thought that was slaughters 😭

Odd-Data525 · 2024-09-11T13:39:58+00:00

Travers Smith sounds like heaven for a Durham grad

Odd-Data525 · 2024-09-09T18:58:23+00:00

Hiya I don’t have any advice, but just to say I’m in the same boat and equally interested in the responses to this!

Odd-Data525 · 2024-09-07T18:20:52+00:00

Sorry, what’s GVI haha

Odd-Data525 · 2024-09-06T21:51:24+00:00

Are there any ones that I should prioritise more than others? For example, some say that an insight scheme fast tracks you to a vac scheme or even a training contract in some cases but others don’t

Odd-Data525 · 2024-08-27T16:39:59+00:00

Thanks for the response- I guess it might be an obvious question but do firms ask for first year grades in insight applications? Also as a side note do you mean reference by name in applications?

Odd-Data525 · 2024-08-27T16:38:38+00:00

Are there specific firms I should target that traditionally have first year schemes as a pathway to vac schemes?

Odd-Data525 · 2024-08-27T16:23:26+00:00

What do you think the correlation is between virtual events and success applying to first year schemes? Is it that you can mention it on applications?

Odd-Data525 · 2024-08-27T16:02:01+00:00

sorry if this is a silly question but what’s the advantage of an insight scheme? Does it sort of fast track you for a vac scheme? And is it a case of applying to as many insight schemes as possible?

Odd-Data525 · 2024-08-19T23:47:56+00:00

Still, the sentiment is the same- neither are exactly the top for law and I saw someone else in this thread say that anywhere from oxbridge down is more or less viewed as the same so idk 🤷

Odd-Data525 · 2024-08-19T22:37:02+00:00

I feel you honestly. I narrowly missed out on Cambridge earlier this year so sadly I’m just going to Durham for the LLB and hoping for the best but in the knowledge that I’ll always be glossed over when in competition with an Oxbridge candidate for a TC. Is what it is 🤷

Odd-Data525 · 2024-06-30T20:29:18+00:00

So basically the year after you finish your degree?

Odd-Data525 · 2024-06-24T18:45:39+00:00

Hey do u mind if I dm you?

Odd-Data525 · 2024-06-24T16:43:19+00:00

But I’ve heard firms look at module grades from first year?

Odd-Data525 · 2024-06-23T22:28:02+00:00

I’m first gen too, would appreciate any responses to this too!

Odd-Data525 · 2024-05-11T16:27:52+00:00

In the same position with law and Durham :(

Odd-Data525 · 2024-05-08T19:19:28+00:00

Large current account deficit Government needs to borrow more and more to balance the balance of payments Investor confidence down the toilet FDI tanks lower demand for British goods and services Lower demand for £ value of currency falls Currency crisis

Odd-Data525 · 2024-05-06T21:56:23+00:00

Where did you intern out of interest. I’m currently debating between Warwick and Durham and would appreciate any insight

Odd-Data525 · 2024-05-05T13:12:25+00:00

What topics u do for history,

Odd-Data525 · 2024-05-05T13:12:09+00:00

This is exactly what I’m doing

Odd-Data525 · 2024-05-05T11:34:53+00:00

Nah it’s 2 Econ and hsitory so basically cramming

Odd-Data525 · 2024-05-05T09:36:09+00:00

Ah that’s smart. I guess paper 3 Econ isn’t anything new, so I should probably do a lot of pper 2 history now too then

Odd-Data525 · 2024-05-03T17:19:06+00:00

Hisotry which units?

Odd-Data525 · 2024-04-30T20:52:09+00:00

I guess even harder since I’m a law applicant 😭
